Reporter, News & Sports

I joined the DCW50 team from Greensboro, North Carolina where I worked for Fox8 News.

I covered everything from stories on the disproportionate number of black motorists being pulled over by police to ACC basketball tournaments.

I lived in Greensboro from 2014-2016.

Previously, I anchored 5 shows per week in Colorado for 10 years.

With a skeleton staff on the weekends, I was an assignment editor, producer, promotions writer and newsroom leader.

When we had major breaking news, like the Waldo Canyon Fire that destroyed more than 300 homes in Colorado Springs, I anchored three hours of consecutive coverage.

I have a proven ability to work under pressure with tight deadlines and turn in award-winning work.

One example is my work during Colorado Springs’ New Life Church shootings in 2007.

I was the lead reporter on a Best Evening Newscast award given by the Colorado Associated Press Broadcasters.

I’ve also covered major events like the Aurora Theater Shooting, high speed chases that have led the network newscasts and one time, while working my first job in Midland, Texas, I visited a Mexican jail for an interview with an American unfairly imprisoned for murder.

I’ve also been honored twice by Colorado AP Broadcasters in the sports category for Best Sports Special. Most recently I earned an Edward R. Murrow award for photography work on a series of stories by Tribune-owned WPIX entitled The Final Fight: The push for Jack Johnson’s pardon.

While in Texas, I cut my teeth shooting highlights of the infamous Odessa Permian Panthers, the team featured in Friday Night Lights.

I am a huge baseball fan and also love college football, Mexican food, going on adventures with my friends and visiting my family near Austin, Texas.

If you don’t get enough of me on the news there’s a chance you may run into me on the trails around the DMV, at a concert or at the library.

WASHINGTON DC –A group of a few dozen people outraged by changes to immigration procedures in the days since President Donald Trump took office are hoping to inspire change. They took to the front of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Washington DC Friday to protest the detention of two people, fearing that their deportation was imminent.

ROCKVILLE, Md. — A Montgomery County woman was incarcerated to life in prison for the killing of her 5-year-old son, Daniel Dana, in district court Monday. A spokesman for the State Attorney’s Office said Narges Shafeirad will likely spend 50 years in prison for poisoning Dana then staging a fiery car crash in an attempt to cover up the crime.

The kids were taught Olympic-style technical wrestling instruction, exposure to positive athletic role models, education around nutrition and hydration, […]

This week’s DCW MVP will almost surely be running to get back on track after injuries spoiled the last two seasons of cross country for Annie Elliott. The Damascus High School junior has not been able to repeat the stellar times she posted as a freshman because of several injuries but she hasn’t lost a step when it comes to supporting her teammates and being a leader on the team. In fact, Elliott continued to run this fall during the […]
